- Are you going to buy it then?
- The Sierra Nevada cover an area of approximately 60,000 square kilometers (15,000,000 acres) in California and Nevada.
- There are 24,252,941 acres of National Forest and 6,394,683 acres of National Park/Monument in California. Over forty percent of that is within the Sierra Nevada mountains alone. The Sierra Nevada is home to nine National Forests, three National Parks and two National Monuments, including the newly created Giant Sequoia National Monument. The Bureau of Land Management also manages several hundred thousand acres within the Sierra Nevada, mostly in the southeast corner of the range (see map). Overall, there are over 13 million acres of federal public lands in the Sierra Nevada, about 63% of the entire range. http://www.sierranevadaphotos.com/geography/forest_parks.asp
